Abstract
Introduction: The well-being of emergency nurses in the workplace has a significant impact on their performance and patient care. Measuring emergency nurses' subjective well-being is necessary to identify their perceived well-being and areas for improvement. However, none of the existing instruments are specifically designed to measure emergency nurses' subjective well-being, making measurement of it less representative and accurate than with an appropriate instrument. Given that the emergency department has unique characteristics different from other units, the development of the Emergency Nurses' Subjective Well-Being at Workplace Instrument is needed. This protocol outlines the stages of development and testing to obtain a valid and reliable instrument.
Methods: The exploratory sequential mixed-methods design will be used in instrument development, which consists of 3 stages. The first stage will involve qualitative research exploring emergency nurses' experiences and perspectives on workplace well-being and a literature review to identify relevant concepts and theoretical frameworks. The second stage will focus on generating the instrument's items, and the final stage will involve psychometric testing to assess the instrument's content validity, face validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. This protocol received ethical approval with record number KE/FK/0389/EC/2025.
Results: This study is expected to produce a specific, valid, and reliable instrument that can measure emergency nurses' subjective well-being comprehensively and accurately.
Discussion: The development of the Emergency Nurses' Subjective Well-Being at Workplace Instrument is essential to assist nursing managers and hospital stakeholders in understanding and identifying areas for improvement and formulating appropriate interventions to enhance emergency nurses' subjective well-being, thus improving the overall health care quality.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Emergency Nursing, the official journal of the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), is committed to the dissemination of high quality, peer-reviewed manuscripts relevant to all areas of emergency nursing practice across the lifespan. Journal content includes clinical topics, integrative or systematic literature reviews, research, and practice improvement initiatives that provide emergency nurses globally with implications for translation of new knowledge into practice.
The Journal also includes focused sections such as case studies, pharmacology/toxicology, injury prevention, trauma, triage, quality and safety, pediatrics and geriatrics.
The Journal aims to mirror the goal of ENA to promote: community, governance and leadership, knowledge, quality and safety, and advocacy.
